A miracle cat who survived a horrific attack when he somehow stumbled home after being shot through the mouth has been crowned pet survivor or the year. Two-year-old Dexter was deliberately shot in July, leaving him fighting for his life. The pellets went through his mouth leaving his jaw fractured while he also had an exit wound in the back of his neck and metal shrapnel embedded throughout his head. Vets said that surviving this shocking act of cruelty was a miracle in itself, but the plucky puss has continued to amaze everyone throughout the months of his long recovery. And the miracle moggy has now received the coveted Pet Survivor title after a public poll held by veterinary charity, PDSA.
